Twofish Encrypt

Overview

This Snap encrypts the binary documents that it receives on its input view using the Twofish algorithm and user-specified encryption parameters.

Note: The default security in the JRE limits the key length for encryption keys. For stronger encryption keys, you would need to manually install the Java Cryptographic Extension JARs on your JCC nodes.


Account

This Snap uses account references created on the Accounts page of the SnapLogic Manager to handle access to this endpoint. This Snap supports a Symmetric crypto account, or no account. See Configuring Binary accounts for information on setting up accounts that work with this Snap.

Snap settings

Legend:
  • Expression icon (): Allows using pipeline parameters to set field values dynamically (if enabled). SnapLogic Expressions are not supported. If disabled, you can provide a static value.
  • SnapGPT (): Generates SnapLogic Expressions based on natural language using SnapGPT. Learn more.
  • Suggestion icon (): Populates a list of values dynamically based on your Snap configuration. You can select only one attribute at a time using the icon. Type into the field if it supports a comma-separated list of values.
  • Upload : Uploads files. Learn more.
Learn more about the icons in the Snap settings dialog.
Field/Field set Type Description
Label String

Required. Specify a unique name for the Snap. Modify this to be more appropriate, especially if more than one of the same Snaps is in the pipeline.

Default value: Twofish Encrypt

Example: Twofish Encrypt
Password String The string that is used to generate a secret key and an initialization vector. If the secret key property is set, the password is ignored.
Note: This field is currently not encrypted at rest and is saved and exported in plaintext. For any shareable secrets that require encryption at rest, we recommend you use a Secret key in the Symmetric Crypto Account . Using a Symmetric Crypto Account ensures that your sensitive information is protected and secure.

Example: K1qjoeFQTr
Secret key String The secret key that is used for encryption.
Note: This field is currently not encrypted at rest and is saved and exported in plaintext. For any shareable secrets that require encryption at rest, we recommend you use a Secret key in the Symmetric Crypto Account . Using a Symmetric Crypto Account ensures that your sensitive information is protected and secure.

Initialization vector String The initialization vector that is used for encryption. It should be in hexadecimal format and should not be used in ECB mode.

Example: 6df68cdf3a6c48b2fde727541f3cecc
Cipher mode Dropdown list The mode of operation for a block cipher.

The available options include: ECB, CBC, CFB, CFB8, CFB16, CFB24, CFB32, CFB40, CFB48, CFB56, CFB64, OFB, OFB8, OFB16, OFB24, OFB32, OFB40, OFB48, OFB56, OFB64, SIC.

Default value: ECB
Encryption padding Dropdown list The encryption padding.

The available options include: TBCPADDING, PKCS5PADDING, ISO10126PADDING, NOPADDING.

Default value: TBCPADDING
Snap execution Dropdown list
Choose one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:
  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Default value: Execute only
